Air pollution: stationary sources: best available control technology: indirect sources.
- Expands state authority to regulate indirect sources of air pollution and collect fees for enforcement.
- Requires facilities to submit technical analyses when renewing permits for equipment over 20 years old.
- Establishes a statewide system to track emissions from indirect sources like warehouses and ports.
- Creates new processes for public input and state review of air pollution permits in disadvantaged communities.
Senator Becker's California Clean Air Permitting Modernization Act expands state oversight of air pollution sources while streamlining permit processes and enhancing protections for disadvantaged communities. The legislation authorizes the State Air Resources Board to regulate indirect emission sources and collect associated fees, complementing existing air district authority.
The bill establishes a statewide reporting program to track emissions from indirect sources and creates a comprehensive technology clearinghouse identifying best available control measures. It requires facilities seeking Title V permit renewals to conduct technical feasibility analyses for equipment and control apparatus meeting specific age and review criteria. The state board gains authority to review and object to Title V permits that do not comply with federal or state requirements.
To expedite permitting, the measure modernizes the state's precertification program for commonly used equipment and processes. Districts must establish accelerated review pathways for precertified technologies and consolidate multiple permits into single facility-wide approvals. The legislation enables temporary staff sharing between agencies to address expertise needs and maintain program effectiveness.
The act prioritizes emission reductions in disadvantaged communities through targeted reviews and enhanced public participation. It allows residents to petition against permits that could increase local pollution burden and requires annual public updates on program implementation. New fees on toxic air contaminant emitters will fund these expanded regulatory activities through the Air Pollution Control Fund.
